Me Dec 2016
the water rolls over my back
and pushes
my shoulders
inch by inch
into my spine

for years i haven t felt the rain
wash all my walls away

today the water soaks
its way right through my coat and clothes
into my bones
and flesh

first waves of panic float
my throat tightens

then i remember
and i talk to you.
Me Apr 2020
No more fear of
fire
Baby
make it burn in
your own
colour

Do you
Make Yourself
Bigger
Do you
Make Yourself the Place
That you call Home
Me Jan 2013
Immortal, of gold and iron
And white wings
He is made,
They tell me, and with wide eyes
I listen.

Later, they say he is
An abstract, dark figure
With no face and no own heart,
And my thoughts grow louder.

And louder still,
Until I- strangely amused-
Discover the golden shine-
The iron twist in my skin-
And feel an odd pain
Between my shoulder blades.

Last night I saw
Little white half-moons
Surrounding my body
In a swirling echo.
Me Feb 2020
How I thought that
pain has a limit and
how
at some point an
amount of it will be
reached an
enough

How rough words and
hurtful deeds reach
a point where
you tell yourself that
you have nothing
to lose and how
from that point
onwards
it really dawns on you:

Pain has no amount
no limit
no borders or edges
no catch phrase
nothing that
time can erase

Pain
is
and isn't
and once you fully and honestly
let it be
it becomes
the same

It becomes the
other side of
the coin that you
kept and cherished and-
til then-
could't see wholly
and now do

It means you grew,
Dear
Me Apr 2020
I cry today for
all those
hurtful moments
for  having been pushed and
having let them push me
into  fear of guilt
Last night I had a shocking aha-dream, and I realised I was afraid of feeling guilty in so many moments in my life, as a child too, guilty of  other people's suffering. It is SO cruel if children grow up thinking they are responsible for their  whole family ...

Through half closed eyes I see
your halo
against the moonlit rain
Night time stories.
Me Mar 2021
Your hair
floating flapping
in the wind
you move
move
and you are able to
look back look forward
as far as you dare
tilt your head up
down
sideways but you
move
forward

and you need not
stop
Me Mar 2022
I know how to be
safe
I want to be
happy
again
I have not been happy for about four years now. It's about time.
Me May 13
What you have planted
Wants to return to you
What never belonged to you
Will not find you
Anymore.

Ignite
a spark
from the middle
outwards
and show
the world
its colours

Come
smile your Buddha smile again,
it makes me so
unspeakably
happy.

Me Apr 2013
The wide ocean lies
calm and blue in front of me
though I know
you are hiding beneath it:

your arms and face
beyond the waves,
your legs dangling
into the gulf-

I dip my hands into the lake
and feel:

a cold sensation burn
deep scars into my skin
your voice reverberates
within my chest

Then -

With a roar the waters rise
long arms and hands reach out
and grab my face
to pull me down-

And you know what?
For all I care-
Pull -
Pull us down! Until I drown with you.
Me May 15
Healing
Takes time, they say

I think Healing
Deserves time.

Me May 2020
Do you feel your
heart break
Love
do you feel
a thousand pieces
scattered
surround you-
It'll mend
and mend
always
again
Me Apr 2019
You say
You cannot lie-
Love, that's particularly why
I love you.

That's the thing
that binds me
to you
and pushed me far away, before.
Me Mar 2020
I sit with my coffee and think
you can handle it
sit and see
the little things like
people are much more
available now
greet each other
see single mothers
maybe
through a respecting lens
let not slide through their hands every
opportunity for real contact
Appreciate
the helping offers
of their friends
and-

in-between-

complain
but thats a habit

I put my coffee down and start
to smile
and feel a warmth
re-spreading

as people slowly
lose their fear
of touching

See a white rabbit climb
out of its hole
again
and squinting in
the sunlight
Me Apr 2019
Going home
can hurt so much
that you may be obliged to touch
a strangers hand
to make it.

And even if the gap seems wide
and dark
and deep
just be aware that-
very much like me-
in you there lies a brilliant seed
that grows
and shows the stranger
just then that you need
help.
<3 Thank you.
Me Apr 2020
You walk towards the white door, this time more confident.
With a feverish look you pierce its handle,
your hand hovering centimetres above it.
You turn around again, around to what lies behind you.
What is past now, but still with you. Not forgotten. Not gone,
still with you, if you want to access it. All your loved ones, still there. What is gone is the fear; the bonds that were once built in such high voltage moments of panic and survival instincts - those moments.

And you take a breath,
calm, more or less.
Me Jun 2020
This is my
treasure box
she says grinning and
gifting you with
a brief look inside
You
irritably
glance back saying there
is nothing in it
Her grin grows
bright
lips curling
up
Sure
she replies
every time I find
some thing that I love I
immediately throw it
back into
the waters
Me Feb 2021
Hidden love
grown up still
children
a love too
much
for their now
hidden behind
loud
helpless shouting
and keeping
apart yet
deeply entangled
for that
was their way
of keeping
the love safe
what brave souls
taking
the pains
of loving
To all our parents, grand parents, to all those for whom it wasn't safe to love, and yet they did.
Me Mar 2013
I couldn't sleep
sleepwalkers talk held me upright
the night I walked away

His ears are blind
his eyes are numb
the depth of thought erases time
and lime stone drips inside his mind

the mill-stone grinds
but slowly-
and cautiously bright daylight shines
through the curtains of this mind
that was so long definded by *silt

and slowly moving elements
and tide-

the flood has come at last:

and vastly confluencing waters
share speed and wit
with this one mind that walked behind me
all this time

and finally
*awakens
Me Sep 2020
Don't worry, dear
cause
The water

Is always

With you

Me May 2019
Why are we
So mean to our selves
At times?
I don't want that
Anymore.
Me Sep 2013
Home is where your heart is, a friend told me some time ago
On a little piece of paper that I took with me then;
Most people think of home as something stable, as something they would know;
Each time I part, I'm thinking of this lttle note, and it is when

                               I really miss you
                                           that I imagine my heart to be in many places
one of those pieces being by your side.

this is a simple thing
thus these lines know no rhyme -
no time is used to jot them down
no time is needed here
to rhyme.

It is only of coming home.
Me Apr 2019
"If Silence knocks
on your door and you actually
open

You might as well
let it enter.

It won't do any harm to you"


You were told so many
many times
my Love
God, why you be so rough
to me and yourself?
Why not stepping in
the light
that frightened you so long?
Me Sep 2020
Everything til here was like a story. A story that unfolded, backwards, until now
until now
until
Now
You grabbed
The pen and started
To write it
Truly
Write it
Yourself



You look up from the screen
You know
This is it


This

Is it
Me Nov 2020
How does the light work
Says the bird to the other
And does it hurt to get
Caught in its radiance
Me Apr 2021
Today I feel like
maybe
everything's going to be
okay
again
Me Mar 2021
In the middle of the
grey path
amidst all the
dust and rubble and
noise there lies
a pink almond blossom
unharmed
because it followed you
and it always
does so
marking
the way
Me Jul 2020
The deepest grief
frees you
the most

Don't be mad,
dear, don't walk by
the birds' cage
and give them
ideas of flying
Me May 2020
A part of me still
flinches
at the sight of
hospital scenes
tubes and white sheets
blood stains-
it's not the hospital though
it's
the memories
Me May 2019
it can be
to make others
REALLY talk to you.
my throat hurts :(
Me Dec 2020
Breathe your mind empty;
I couldn't give you
different names though your
appearances differ
I couldn't
bring myself to call you
anything
A half-hearted try
you say,
already feeling
your face radiate
this smile that only builds from
knowing
I couldn't name you
anything else
Me May 2019
Everything
lights up
everything else
at the same
time

We close our hearts
at first
cause it's so bright

The light is frightening
much more
much more than darkness

Nothing is nameless
anymore
and at the same time
carries the same name

My heart is Yours
and with me
I take your pain as if it was
my own

And You know what, my Love?
And gladly so!
Me May 2018
A whole lot of
feroucious stories
terrible happenings
far and close
to me

take
my
air.

A whole bunch of
things and creatures
I find beautiful
I love
I see fit to make it all worthwhile.

The balance, the balance

Please put
another scoop
on the bright side

Or tell me
about Yours.
Do you know that feeling? I feel a bit helpless, scared of growing up in this world, of accepting the terrible things and bad things and what people do and have done, always. I am scared. I love life, I love my friends, I love tiny things. But sometimes everything in my head thinks very fast, and then dark thing become too heavy or seem too close even though they don't even affect me personally. I love this community here, the possibility to connect, get to know each other's poetry and show my own very personal writes. It is supportive; and I wish I could trust a little more in our world and that everything will be alright. Even very good, maybe!
Love.
Me Jan 2021
Your Soul cannot wait
call
Yourself whole,
Love
💚
Me Apr 2020
Everything gathers
inside of you
quietly waiting
with such a heartfelt
sincerity that
it makes you soft
to the bone
waiting for
the tiniest sign of
yourself
the silent agreement
tell us
and we explode into colour
Me May 2014
This goes out
To all the perfect kids;

We are only perfect
In weakness.
Me Dec 2020
Hammer in my right hand a bunch of
nails in the left
green vines bending towards my legs
I'm here
with all I have

I kneel down on the
cool muddy surface
caress
with decided clarity
the soil
the earth

I do belong
Me Jan 2020
How
like ice and fire
these needles
pierce my flesh
from inside out
and guess what's weird
it does not feel
like doubt or pain
but like
a healing

~

WHILE

{I cannot stop thinking about you = true}

remains true
remains true
remains...

YOU think this is all mathematics?
You think this is just dusty crap I found up in the attic
of my house?

Then: OUT!
Out of the loop, but mark:
Once this is done and talked about,
all screens go dark.


I dreamt that I woke up.
"...it's the oldest dream of all." <3
I give up.
Me Jul 2019
If God knows what
Is written all over your face
And if you stand
Outside my door
Your shoulders down
And tears clouding your vision

I am going
To embrace you -
Nothing else.
Come home.
Me May 2020
If the wolves
ate me
they'd have had a
good reason
and I know they won't
eat me because
they are
neither starving nor am I
interfering in their
territory
If the wolves
ate you
they'd have had
a good reason
Me Jun 2014
Sometimes I *******
Hate poetry
Wait -
No. Enemies don' be
Fooled
I am an addict
A freakin monster, ruled
By the same force
That rules the mind
Of all war masters

Disaster's coming fast
Into this land
So **** the world
And **** the
Hand
That writes this ****

For in the end
It is my fears that guide
Each tiny bit of thought
Each little note and piece
And fraught imagination.

It is not butterflies
That lead the way my dear:

It's chaos.

I
am
here.
Can someone please please giv me back my butterflies? !
Me May 2015
An open field
cold     dark     grey

tracks
that lead towards a certain end;

A face that
lacks emotion,
he spits,
walks on,

     and with a crooked smile rolls up his sleeve -

No fear; no obvious grief;
just silent     fading numbers.
Me Mar 2012
And my grace is sufficient for thee
so he said, and exploded
for my strenghth is made perfect
in what, I wondered
in weakness
*and the sound surrounded
my drowning lungs
as they plunged
in the beauty.
Me May 2018
Today a little fly
passed by my window
newspaper, cigarettes and shoes
in her backpack.
There you go :D
Me 3d
I don't need
To hear You say it to know
That You love me but I love
To see You
Express it.
